Enabling the ability for purchasers to specify an arbitrary server to connect to would require a design change compared to how most games are recently. That feature used to be standard in the early years of online gaming.

We had online-only multiplayer games in the early 2000s with self-hosted servers supporting over 60 players per map. It's absolutely possible to do better with today's tech.

How does that work since lactose isn't a protein? Is it just that the affected people assumed they were intolerant of lactose, but it was actually the protein?

Agreed, and it's not like clean energy generation and good wastewater treatment are impossible - just more expensive. Perhaps 10x the normal cost per bag would pay for the difference?

Thank you for the difficult public service you do.

If this is the ruling which causes you to lose trust that any legal system (not just the US') aligns with morality, then I have to question where you've been all this time.

So which cameras can be used to overcome normal face coverings? https://piped.video/watch?v=yRFeS72IM6M

The wealthy ones didn't need to resort to veterinary medicine - their doctors were willing to be paid to prescribe the human version of those drugs. Legitimate drugs that save many lives, just not helpful against viruses like covid.

Did the Linux gods see what the hardware gods had going on and decide to get in on the action?

Alternative reasons (not mutually exclusive):

  • The organization has outdated policies that make delivering changes difficult.
  • The systems used in development and delivery haven't been invested in enough to automate repetitive steps, optimize workflow, and increase safety of changes.

Again, complex changes are obviously going to take more time, but if the simplest changes take significant time or effort then something is wrong.

If you run into this again, maybe you can use pursuit of efficiency to get proof?

"If we really want to find out why, we can use a Value-stream mapping approach to analyze the process. We might even identify additional specific opportunities where we're able to speed up!"

By documenting all steps in a process and timing each one you'd be able to identify where the difference is, and whether a critical step is being skipped. It really doesn't have to take much time or effort. If management can't be bothered to make that happen, then they must not really care about efficiency.

They have already censored entire accounts at the request of governments.

Decentralized isn't the right word to use for a system like this.

Even though BS is going to appoint multiple different volunteer moderators (aka "Trusted Verifiers") for this system, ultimate authority and control are entirely centralized with BS.
